Moving towards Christhood

Question 1:

DO YOU EVER CRY?

YES, WHENEVER I LOOK AT YOU. You may not see my tears, you may not hear my cry, but when I look at you the cry is always there. Because of that, I go on working on you. It is not only to help you to come out of your misery; it is to help myself also. If you come out of your misery, I will come out of my misery that is created by your misery.

It is said that when Buddha reached to the door of the ultimate he stopped there; he wouldn't enter. The door was open, the

Go thou and preach the kingdom of god

LUKE 9 CERTAIN MAN SAID UNTO HIM, LORD, I WILL FOLLOW THEE WHITHERSOEVER THOU GOEST.

AIR HAVE NESTS; BUT THE SON OF MAN HATH NOT WHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD.

SUFFER ME FIRST TO GO AND BURY MY FATHER.

GO THOU AND PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

FIRST GO BID THEM FAREWELL, WHICH ARE AT HOME AT MY HOUSE.

PLOUGH, AND LOOKING BACK, IS FIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

God: The ultimate synthesis

Question 1:

HOW IS ONE WHO HAS BEEN TRAINED ALL HIS LIFE TO ANALYZE AND

QUESTION AND DOUBT TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN DOUBT AND

TRUST?

DOUBT IS BEAUTIFUL in itself. The problem arises when you are stuck in it.

Then doubt becomes death. Analysis is perfect if you remain seperate and aloof from it. If you become identified, then the problem arises. Then analysis becomes a paralysis. If you feel that you have become trained to analyze, question and doubt,

I am not come to call the righteous

MATTHEW 9 MATTHEW, SITTING AT RECEIPT OF CUSTOM: AND HE SAITH UNTO HIM, FOLLOW ME. AND HE AROSE, AND FOLLOWED HIM.

.10 AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS JESUS SAT AT MEAT IN THE HOUSE, BEHOLD, MANY PUBLICANS AND SINNERS CAME AND SAT DOWN WITH HIM AND HIS DISCIPLES.

WHY EATETH YOUR MASTER WITH PUBLICANS AND SlNNERS?

WHOLE NEED NOT A PHYSICIAN, BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK.

Question 1:

WHAT IS THE NEED FOR SECRECY IN MASTERDISCIPLE RELATIONSHIPS

AND ALSO IN ORDINARY HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS?

THE BEING HAS TWO SIDES, the without and the within. The without can be public, but the within cannot be. If you make the within public, you will lose your soul, you will lose your original face. Then you will live as if you have no inner being. Life will become drab, futile. It happens tO people who lead a public life: politicians,

Mirroring Christ

Question 1:

A SINGLE SESSION OF YOUR DYNAMIC MEDITATION HAS LEFT WITHIN

ME A GREATER BLISS AND SENSE OF BEING THAN TWENTY YEARS OF

HAVING HAD TO LISTEN TO THE STORIES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

AND TO PRAY TO AN ALMIGHTY AND DISTANT GOD WHO STAYED AN

UNEXPERIENCEABLE GODOT TO ME. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE

TEACHINGS OF JESUS JUST MIGHT NOT BE HELPFUL TO ALL SEEKERS -

YES, MIGHT EVEN BE POISONOUS TO THEM, OR TO SOME?

Gods in Exile

Question 1:

WHO PREPARED THE WAY FOR YOU?

NOBODY HAS PREPARED THE WAY FOR ME, and neither am I preparing the way for anybody. This has to be understood.

There are four possibilities. One, the oldest and the most used, is what happened in Jesus' case. John the Baptist prepared the way; the disciple preceded the Master. It has its benefits, but it has its own limitations and defects also - bound to be so. When the disciple precedes the Master he will create limitations which belong to

I WILL SPEAK ON CHRIST, but not on Christianity. Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. In fact, Christianity is anti-Christ - just as Buddhism is anti-Buddha and Jainism anti-Mahavir. Christ has something in him which cannot be organized: the very nature of it is rebellion and a rebel]ion cannot be organized.

The moment you organize it, you kill it. Then the dead corpse remains. You can worship it, but you cannot be transformed by it. You can carry the load for centuries and centuries, but it will only burden you, it will not liberate you.
